Accor's luxury Sofitel brand has been appointed to manage Sydney's largest
new hotel in 20 years, located next to Darling Harbour's International

Sydney's tourism and business events are expected to get a major boosted

new International Convention Centre.

The Schwartz Family Company signed an agreement with developer Lend Lease

completion in the second quarter of 2017.

The hotel will be the largest and most significant new build hotel in
Sydney for over 20 years and will add to the new Darling Harbour
conference, entertainment, leisure and business precinct, a re-development
project of around $2.5 billion.

Construction of the 35-storey 600 room Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour
hotel is expected to start towards the end of 2014, and it is due for
completion in the second quarter of 2017.
